Okay, so I have lapsed a little these last weeks and I have fed mainly crickets and superworms to my Tiger, and his tummy 'always' seems more bigger than before, kind of like he has something stuck, but he has producig waste normally and he doesn't act any different. Should I be worried about this or is this all something that will normally happen when feeding harder shelled foods?

Also I suspect my Tiger might have worms, I recently cleaned his coconut fibre and I found a light yellow stool sample burried beneath his hide, so I did what I always do and I dropped it into some water (to make sure he is digesting his food properly) and it was clearly a superworm shell deposit, but there were little maggots in the poo, they literally looked exactly like larger maggots except they were much smaller. What do I do? Was this just an older sample that some 'fly' layed in? If it was simply old and used how did the fly get to it when it was burried so deep?

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
